Regional candidate Stefania Proietti visits the Angelantoni Group
On 16 October, Massa Martana was a stop on the journey ‘In cammino per l'Umbria’ (On the Way to Umbria) to listen to the voice of citizens and businesses.
Welcoming the candidate and the mayor of Massa Martana Francesco Federici were Cavaliere Gianluigi Angelantoni and Federica Angelantoni, respectively President and Chief Sustainability Officer of the Angelantoni Industrie Group, together with Francesca Orsini Federici, HR Manager, and Dr Cesare Angelantoni, Honorary President of the Group.
In his presentation, Cav. Angelantoni underlined the importance of building physical and digital infrastructures as well as promoting the territory, which has always been the Group's core value. Hence the need for the utmost support from the public administration to create the conditions for young people - students and workers - to make them ‘stay’ and ‘grow’ in our region. For his part, Proietti spoke of her great empathy with Umbrian companies, all of which possess - from the smallest so numerous to the largest - the characteristic of being ‘visionary’ despite operating in such a small territory, and of the desire to provide them with the maximum help to overcome those problems that still make them somewhat ‘backward’ when compared to the global world of ultra-fast connections.
This was followed by a visit to the Company Museum, which shows the milestones in the history of an enterprise born from the genius of the founder Giuseppe Angelantoni, who first in Milan in 1932 and then in his native Massa Martana in 1968 founded two refrigeration equipment and systems factories. The original motorbike - the initial ‘plant’ together with the tool bag that he always carried with him - is there in the museum, together with patented refrigeration compressors, -80°C freezers of the time, environmental test chambers and images of space simulators that illustrate the challenges and technological successes in simulated climatic tests that have led the Group to be an international leader in various sectors such as Automotive, Aerospace and Electronics.
The visit to the production areas and design offices allowed Stefania Proietti to get to know the authors of these successes, and a photo was taken with those she nostalgically confessed to us that she considered as former ‘fellow students’, given her passion for mechanics since her teenage years and her qualification as a Mechanical Engineer!
